Tango, 'milongas' are red-hot attractions for Buenos Aires

FERNANDO GONZALEZ Miami Herald

Late Thursday night when this working-class neighborhood in Buenos Aires seems to have long gone to bed, Niño Bien -- a popular milonga, or tango dance event -- is alive. <a href=http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/travel/6270523.htm target=_blank>more</a>

Lock, step and swaying to the 'dance of love' from Argentine barrios

Nancy Bartley Seattle Times

"Cadencia," Patricio Touceda said gently, rocking the beautiful Eva Lucero in his arms. She curled up against him as though they were in a world all their own, lovers that they are. <a href=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2001684185_tango01m.html target=_blank>more</a>

After 55 Years, Still Dancing Cheek to Cheek

By ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS The New York Times January 4, 2004

A PHOTOGRAPH from the 1950's shows Jean and Alex Turney dancing cheek to cheek, her ear-to-ear smile and brunette bob pressed against his chiseled Gene Kelly good looks. Looking at it, you can tell that they adored dancing, and each other.

Jean had grown up in Chicago, studying modern dance with Pearl Lang, a disciple of Martha Graham, from the age of 13. During the 40's, a man once saw her and a male friend dancing whimsically up and down the subway stairs in Chicago and told them: "You kids should take that to New York; you'd make a bundle."

Tango Anglo From The Times: in a small hall above an Irish pub Valerie Grove masters the reverse ocho. Her next step? Dance out of the ******* and all the way to Buenos Aires.

I married a man who loves to dance. These are something of a rarity. Whenever the invitation says “Dancing”, he dances with most of the women in the room because their husbands don’t go in for that kind of caper. For 30 years we have jived, foxtrotted, waltzed, held a barn dance for our silver wedding, made a spectacle of ourselves and embarrassed our young.

Ms. Quiroga previously appeared in New York with the shows "Forever Tango" and "Tango Argentina," but "Historias Breves" is the first production that she directed and choreographed alone. It provided an entertaining if slightly overlong evening of stylish and stylized dancing interwoven with foot-tapping musical interludes by the New York-based Eternal Tango Orchestra.

A first for tango in Buenos Airesby CHARLOTTE HIGGINS for the Guardian

The night was founded two-and-a-half years ago by Augusto Balinzano, one half, with his partner Miguel Moyano, of the world's only professional gay tango duo. Most milongas stick to one style of dancing or music, but La Marshall, like its regulars, is eclectic. "Young people and the not so young come," says Balinzano. "We have professional dancers, doctors, architects, working people who want to relax for a while. We started to experiment with different types of music. Now we have a little bit of everything, traditional and modern, and it all gets together in one night. We were one of the first milongas to experiment with electronic tango music."

Tango That’s Playful as Well as Passionateby GIA KOURLAS for the New York Timespublished: November 14, 2006

If you like tango shows in one shade — dark and brooding — the Argentine company Estampas Porteñas isn’t for you. This troupe of five couples, directed by Carolina Soler, takes dancing seriously but also emanates a playful grasp of theater.
